Her words ignited a powerful warmth within Kallum’s heart, causing his breathing to become slightly erratic as he held Calista even tighter. His arm muscles tensed, a testament to his heightened emotions.
“I love it when you say you love me, Darling. Could you say it a few more times?” Kallum asked, his voice tinged with a blend of eagerness and desire.
Calista finally shot him a glance. “Can you read the room? We’re still on the main road, and a lot of people are watching you…
But for Kallum, such trivial matters were of no consequence. His piercing gaze swept across the bustling street, causing the love–struck women around him to gasp in suppressed awe. He looked at Calista, a headache beginning to form.
“You did it on purpose!”
Teasing him intentionally on the bustling streets, watching as he struggled to resist yet had no choice but to restrain himself, was the thing that Calista, the little rascal, loved to do the most!
“Yeah. I did it on purpose,” Calista admitted with a laugh, glancing at the large clock on the bell tower not far away. “You have fourteen hours left to have a ‘conversation‘ with me under the covers. Are you going to waste time here?”
Kallum chuckled, a mischievous smile playing on his lips as he gently pinched her cheek. “Little vixen, how did you know I wanted to chat with you under the quilt?”
Even if the bystanders couldn’t hear their conversation, the palpable sexual tension between them was enough to send shivers down their spines. They even had the distinct impression that, had they not been on the street, the girl would surely have been swept off her feet.
Calista placed a finger on his lips, halting any further actions from Kallum. “Before, it was you who led me on this chase. Now, it’s my turn to lead you.”
A glimmer of starlight appeared in her eyes, filled with anticipation, as she said, “I’ve always wondered how normal couples fall in love, those patterns of interaction. I want to try them all.”
And so, the next thing he knew, Kallum found himself being led to the department store by Calista. As she picked out clothes, she laughed and asked, “Is there a better way to start than with matching outfits?”
Kallum was initially resistant to the clothes. Not only were they of average quality, but their design was also quite tacky. However, when Calista twirled in front of him wearing a lovely pink sweater and a white woolen skirt, Kallum resigned himself to wearing a matching pink sweater and white casual pants. Both of them wore identical white sneakers. Just like that, Kallum looked every bit a vibrant university student.
Their first stop was the arcade, not to play any games, but merely to soak in the ambiance. From there, they moved on to the cinema, catching a newly released romance film. Their final stop was the food street by the pier. As it was Christmas, the authorities had granted special permission for the sale of handheld fireworks for the day. Thus, many couples could be seen enjoying their meals while setting off fireworks, filling the entire street with a festive spirit.
Calista was having a blast and seeing her joy, Kallum gradually joined in the merriment. When they eventually grew tired, they found themselves sitting by the river that flowed into the sea, gazing at the distant Ferris wheel. They shared a cup of hot cocoa, and in that moment, they both found peace within.

“Thank you.
Without your improved inhibitor, someone like me could never venture into such crowded places, let alone have such a good time.”
Calista clasped his hands around his face, her tone full of determination. “That’s not a big deal. The antiserum had already formed yesterday. After some time, once we’ve confirmed its stability and it has passed all the experimental tests, we can then return to being normal humans again.”
Although he had always known that the experiment was progressing rapidly, these advancements were all built on Calista’s personal trials. Reflecting on her pain made Kallum feel uncomfortable. So, even though he knew he might be getting better, he didn’t feel excited at that moment. Instead, he felt a sense of relief that she wouldn’t have to suffer anymore.
Calista hugged her knees, gazing at the distant Ferris wheel with a wistful look in her eyes. “Once you’re better, what’s the first thing you want to do?” she asked.
Kallum looked at her, the words “I want to marry you” almost slipped from his lips.
However, he didn’t voice his thoughts. Instead, he reached out, guiding her to rest her head on his shoulder.
At that moment, a few children carrying sparklers ran past. As if performing a magic trick, Kallum produced two sparklers.
“Do you want to set off some sparklers?” he asked, a playful glint in his eyes.
“When did you get these?” Calista asked, a hint of surprise in her tone.
“When you were off buying hot cocoa. Do you like it?”
“I do…” Calista gazed carnestly as Kallum ignited the sparkler, then handed it to her. The beautiful sparkler. ignited at his fingertips, and at such a close distance, it made the stars in Calista’s eyes shine even brighter. It left Kallum breathless. From NôvelDrama.Org.
“I’ve asked this before, right?”
“Hm?” Calista looked up at him, her eyes sparkling like two clusters of fireworks, making everything in sight unbelievably beautiful.
Kallum reached out, his fingers gently tracing her face, lingering at the corners of her eyes. With a puzzled expression, he asked, “I remember, your eyes didn’t used to be like this, did they?”
Even though they were already quite stunning, they were nothing compared to their current brilliance. It was as if they held crushed stars within, making them a pair of eyes unlike any other in the world.
Calista was taken aback for a moment, then slowly broke into a smile. “It’s quite peculiar to me as well,” she said, “that reincarnation somehow managed to bring over things from my previous life…”
The topic of the previous life suddenly reminded Kallum of something. Although it was inappropriate, and he shouldn’t have said it at that time, under such a relaxed
